The Dog Behaviour Training Practitioner Diploma course consists of various modules that result in comprehensive dog behavioural practitioner skills:

Module 1 – Understand Canine Psychology

This module takes an in-depth look at the anatomy of the brain and how this can affect and shape behaviour.

Module 2 – Genetics and Evolution

In the second module, you will discover the role of genetics and part it
can play in influencing how a dog thinks and reacts to stimuli.
Evolution, as a factor in genetics, will also be studied. The dominance
myth is another part of the module’s curriculum.

Module 3 – Emotional Influences

The module will focus on the elements that influence the way dogs
behave. Aggression, stress, obsessions, frustration, fear, and anxiety
will be the main topics. Unlike in other, lower-level courses, we will
also put a strong emphasis on the way these conditions affect the dog
owner, leading to changes in the relationship with the dog.

Module 4 – Dietary influences

Food and diet can negatively impact canine behaviour. As a behavioural
practitioner, you need to understand the role diet plays and the
relationship between nutrition, exercise and behaviour.

Module 5 – Canine Body Language and Signalling

The module will help you understand body language the way dogs express
their emotional and physical state. In addition, human body language and
its impact on canine behaviour is also a part of the curriculum.

Module 6 – Using Science

At this stage, we put a strong emphasis on the scientific discoveries
related to a dog’s behavioural repertoire. We also take a look at the
proven methods of training techniques. All methods are force free and
relationship centred. Here, we will examine how owners and behaviourists
can help solve canine emotional issues.
